Lord of the Rings – The Third Age
Well, I kinda lost interest a bit while lurching through Moria. Loads of brown, loads of repetitive battles with Orcs. Anyway, I was having withdrawal symptoms and picked it up again for another go and managed to complete the Moria section. The Balrog was fun – 178,000 hit points is no joke, but Gandalf is well hard.
Once out of Moria, the whole thing brightens up a little and becomes more open. Sadly, it’s more Orcs with only a few Uruk-hai added to give a bit of variety. It’s not really a shortcoming of the game because Lord of the Rings does have a fairly limited number of species. A few Nazgul have appeared as well, but sadly I ran like a frightened girl, even though I have it on good assurance that I’m leveled up enough to beat them.
There was a particularly large and fierce looking starving Warg as well – that one was pretty good fun, really cos it didn’t attack often but when it did you knew about it. Loads of buffing needed for that one.
Surprisingly, for a game which I play for a while and then put down when it gets a bit tedious, I’ve managed to clock 12 hours with exactly 25% completed. We’ll see if I get to 100%.
